This 1978 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee Coupe has spent much of its life in Central Virginia. It has just 38,288 miles from new and is finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with a Diamond Blue Valino Grain Padded Vinyl Roof and Diamond Blue Luxury Dual Comfort Cloth interior (with 6-way power adjustment on the driver's seat). The car has every option found on the Thunderbird for 1978 plus power windows, power locks, tilt steering, full gauges, leather dash top, leather-wrapped steering wheel, turbine vane alloy road wheels, body color rally mirrors, and heavy pile carpet extending into the trunk compartment. Power is from a 351 cubic-inch Windsor V-8 engine. There is a Quadraphonic AM/FM/8-track Stereo radio and Cruise Control. It comes with its original window sticker, a full set of factory service manuals and a receipt for a $4,000-plus re-spray in 2003 to correct issues in the factory metallic paintwork.
